    Mazda to support Android Auto

    Mazda among others anyway. I'm wondering if they'll just update our 2014s to support it, or if they're already planning on abandoning their existing systems. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Android-Auto-will-be-initially-supported-in-vehicles-from-28-car-brands_id57567

    Installed - Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3

    Just got these installed today. Obviously they're not broken in just yet, but first impression is great. Lots of wet spots from melting snow, felt just like the dry spots. Handling is very tight, steering is direct and responsive, feels a little better than the Dunlops it came with. Ride feels a...

    Just ordered Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3

    I've used Continental ExtremeContact DWS before, and I know they're great in snow, but they're a little mushy on dry and wet pavement, hopefully these are tighter, and are still good enough in snow. The Contis are frigging GREAT in snow but I don't need "great." I just need "good enough to get...

    Replacement tires for 2.5L/18 inch wheels

    So, what's everyone's doing for tires? I'm noticing the OEM Dunlops I got don't like wet pavement very much, which isn't a good sign for winter, I'm going to want to replace them relatively soon. I know Continental has the ExtremeContact DWS in the appropriate size, and my experience has been...

The warning light goes on at about 3.5 gallons remaining...which is actually almost a quarter tank. I'm wondering if...

    Anyone tried an iPod yet?

    Just curious if anyone has attached an iPod of any generation to either audio system and what the results were? If the compatibility is better than MP3s on a USB stick I may just pick up a used one to keep in the car.

    Info for playing MP3s in touchscreen system

    I ended up doing a lot of trial and error work with a couple of people on another forum, and figure I should share the results here as well. This will be updated as necessary, and is current as of 10/11/13 with the latest system firmware as of that date. Mods can we please sticky this? For the...

    MP3s

    I tend to use MP3s on a USB stick, and I'm noticing the Mazda system doesn't seem to like a great many of them. Anyone had a chance to play around? I haven't found a pattern yet, but I suppose the system might not support greater than a certain bit-rate, which would be a terrible shame.
